Hello
I have just installed FreeBSD without any problems. But when I tried to
reboot the system after I had compiled the kernel I got the message:
" changing root device to wd1a - panic: cannot mount root ".
Of course, it cannot! For I installed FreeBSD on wd2 (that is: master on
the second IDE-port) and DOS on wd0.
Then I booted the kernel via the boot prompt (" 1:wd(2,a)/kernel ") and
I succeeded; I added the line:
"config kernel root on wd2"
But the kernel still complains that it cannot change the root device.
What is wrong? I looked into fstab, I included in alle the
IDE-controller and ports in the kernel file, so where else could be the
problem? PLESE HELP! I cannot stand anymore using Windows95!
Stefan.
